  1. _oh_. is THAT what i wanted? on FCC Supports Neighborhood Radio · · Score: 1

    So the FCC has discovered that low-power stations (10 to 100 watts, or 4 to 7 miles) *don't* interfere with large stations (aka ClearChannel).

    But then we've still got the National Association of Broadcasters quoted as saying:

    "Local radio listeners should not be subjected to the inevitable interference that would result from shoehorning more stations onto an already overcrowded radio dial."

    _oh_. Shouldn't I? Thanks for making that so CLEAR to me; where WOULD I be if I didn't hear the same music and news everywhere I went. Sounds like the real 'interference' they're worried about is not so much from the low-power waves but the alternative message(s!) they'd carry.

  2. bios on Microsoft Taking Over the BIOS · · Score: 1

    all your bios are belong to us

  3. Re:doesn't work on dark backgrounds on Bitstream/Gnome Release Vera Font Family · · Score: 1

    Check out the RELEASENOTES; there's a small section on a problem with gamma correction Xft/X Render which messes up the rendering of white fonts on black backgrounds.

  4. Re:This could be very dangerous on Bacteria to Destroy Greenhouse Gases · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't reducing industrial emissions be "artificial"? Isn't it only natural to keep doing just what we're doing? Surely any conscious decision to change the situation is artificial. Blah blah blah! All nonsense.

  5. parents do want superior children on Genetically Engineered Children · · Score: 1

    "it's only natural" - parents want their genes passed on and on and on and on, and "superior" children would pass on more genes.

  6. old news on Fractal Antennas more efficient? · · Score: 1

    i think i read about this fractal antenna idea
    quite a while ago in Discover. maybe it was SciAm
    again, though.
